EntcrIng a Better business.

Mr.. Harry +. Smith, who for twenty-one
years has been one of the most efficient
clerks OF the general land office, and of
late years has been in charge OF the south
ern landsl division, has rendered his resig
nation to take effect on April /. Mr.
Smith served through the entire war In
New York regiment, receiving three severe
wounds. His service in the land Office has
won him general commentator. His
resignation was for the purpose OF accept
ing the Washington agency OF an extensive
land syndicate composed of Philadelphia
gentlemen, of which Hamilton Dlsston
holds the principal interest. The syndicate
has large tracts of land in Florida. Mr..
Smith has much experience in the control
of Florida lands, being the secretary and
Grove and the New Enterprise Company.
He has opened an Office In the McGowan
building, go i street.

ASPHALT PAvEMENTs.
How the Commissioners Propose to
Bridge Their Troubles.

The Commissioners, In reply to Comp
troller Durham's letter asking the cost Of
laying asphalt, state that, In view Of the
act Of Congress limiting the price of the
service to So per square yard, they were
compelled to do the best they could
in their dilemma. They adopted the
plan OF the K.street Improvement, and
as II was impossible to lay a 6-inch
base pavement for less than S9.25
per square. yard, they, therefore, secured an
equally as good pavement at $l.07 per
square yard by requiring the admix-
ture Of Portland cement with National
cement, and by this means produced
pavement Of sufficient strength to
admit Of reduction Of depth Of base. The
asphalt laid has base Of four inches.
IL this course had not been pur-
sued no asphalt could have been
laid, and the entire business would
have been thrown into the hands OF one
contractor. This places the base Of the
asphalt pavement on an equality with a
coal tar distillate pavement, and thereby
conserves the interest Of the public. The
commissioners believe that the letter OF
inquiry addressed to them on Jan. 90 last
was the ofllcious work of clerk, and not
the inquiry OF the comptroller.
